do you need a feature this setup doesn't provide?
i don't know about cvsweb, but i do know that Chora (www.horde.org)
can authenticate users. also, take a look at ViewCVS.

protecting cvs repository

2003-01-24 Thread Zhi Cheng Wang 
Hi

does cvsweb have the ability to ask for username and passwd if web users are
trying to browse the repository? i have done this in an ugly way by creating
a subdir and put the cvsweb.cgi under this subdir, then in httpd.conf to
protect this subdir using http authentication.

is there a better way to achieve this?

thanks

cheng
